No way the defense is anywhere what it was.
Offense is a question. Do the TEs and WRs play to their potential? Do the RBs stay healthy?
I’d like to think 11-1 or 12-0 but I’m not confident.

We have a NC QB and arguably the best overall receiving corps in the country. We also have one of the best offensive lines. I also think our running game will be the surprise to many teams. I’m very excited about our offense. Could be the best in the SEC.

I'm usually a mega sunshine pumper but cmon. Ladd, Rosemy, Kearis, Mitchell are all solid but none have proven to be elite. Arian has never been healthy. Brock is elite as a TE though.

Should contend again.
There is a big question about the inside of our defense (replacing Davis, Dean, and Cine). The question mark will surround how we change our scheme without Jordan Davis eliminating basic fundamentals of offense (we have elite talent all around the defense, but we will have to accomplish the same goals differently).
Offense should improve on what was vastly underrated in 2021.
UGA was 2nd in conference for passing TDs in the first half.
(UGA was 1 TD away from 1st in conference in passing TDs in the 3rd quarter).
UGA was 3rd in conference in passing yards in the first half (behind Bama and Ole miss).
To put it bluntly, Stetson attempted 9 passes in the 4th quarter during the regular season. He attempted 25 passes against Bama in 2 games and 1 attempt against Michigan in the 4th quarter (offensive MVP in 2 of those 3 games).

A healthy Arian Smith unlocks everything. That dude adds a different dimension with his speed.

yeha I like arian and am pumped to see him. But including him as a reason why we might have the best receivers in america is just silly.

Stetson is not the best QB against Zone Coverage.
Having Smith stretch the defense vertically expands the throwing windows for Stetson. He can get the ball up and down between vertical defenders extremely well (not so much on horizontal windows. That is where he gets bit).
Arian can permit Stetson to play to his strengths even against a zone drop.

I didn't. Bowers being Travis Kelce 2.0 is what steers me in that diredirection. 14 touchdowns for a true freshman TE is comically good. Bowers, Mitchell (I think he takes a big jump this year), Gilbert (if he plays; I'm assuming he's Jonathan Rumph until proven otherwise), McConkey, Smith, Washington, and maybe Delp is a deep, talented group of pass catchers.
I also think McIntosh is going to be a bigger weapon out of the backfield than we've seen so far.

I don't think that we can beat Alabama twice or maybe even once. But then again we only had to beat them once last year.
Imo Ohio State is the biggest threat to Alabama this year. They hired gods gift to defensive coordinators away from Oklahoma State and I think that that was the biggest move in college football of the entire off season.
***The Ohio State plus 10.5 regular season wins bet is the easiest money that any gambler out there will ever see.

yeah I'm not disagreeing with any of that. I'm not trying to downplay arian's potential in our offense, I was simply addressing the poster that said we might have the best receivers in all of CFB.

He’s lumping in the TEs in overall “receiving corps.” Which it should be when talking about passing weapons

Reload. Haven't heard any "kind of a rebuild" talk. Holding onto it though in case we need to use it later.

Going down the schedule game by game, I don't see one we lose unless we get the injury bug really bad this year, or one of our opponents can pull a rabbit out of a hat.
I expect 12-0. If it's 11-1 that's ok going to SECCG. 10-2 would not be acceptable to me. Something would really have to go off the rails for us to lose two regular season games if you look at the schedule.

We'll likely go 12-0 through our schedule since nobody in the regular season is on our level, then lose to alabama in the SECCG. I don't believe we'll make the playoffs but will beat whoever we play in a high profile bowl game.
There’s 0 chance a 12-1 SEC squad is left out of the playoffs.
Especially given UGA was blown out last year and no one even questioned if they’d get in.

^ this
If GA is 12-0 going into SECG, then loses just like last year, they will end up playing OSU in the first round.
Bookmark it.

well that's simply not true at all. The only reason we made it last year is because we were the unquestioned unanimous #1 team, so we weren't dropping from 1 to 5 unless there were other teams with better resumes.
Thsi year we will not be #1, and could very well be #3 if bama/osu remain undefeated. If you have other P5 champions that have 0 or 1 loss I would be pretty surprised if we only fell from 3 to 4.

see above, there were 2 very logical reasons why that happened.

This hasn’t happened all that often recently. PAC 12 and 1-2 other conferences usually eliminate themselves.

We got very fortunate that Baylor stopped Oklahoma State on the goal line. That made the committee's job a lot easier. One of UGA, Cincinnati, and Oklahoma State would have had to be left out. Cincinnati would have been a lock. The choice would have been 12-1 Georgia who wasn't a conference champ and looked like they didn't belong in the SECCG or 12-1 Oklahoma State who won the Big 12 but was clearly inferior to Georgia based on the eye test.

exactly. People just want to look at things at a 10,000 foot view and say "it happened last year!" without actually looking at the why.
Let's assume for thsi exercise bama and OSu are locks and in. If clemson is either 13-0 or 12-1 and ACC champs, and the Big 12 has a 1 loss champ, and hell maybe even someone in the pac12 ends wiht only 1 loss...UGA isn't getting in. So, so many times in the history of the playoffs a team has made it largely in part because of "well, there was really nobody else to put in ahead of them". If we enter the SECCG ranked 3rd and lose and end up a 12-1 non-champion, we are going to have to rely on other P5 champs having shitty resumes to have a shot.
